SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt has confirmed that Congolese striker Christian Saile is on his way to join his team during the current transfer window period.
According to KickOff Magazine, Saile is set to move to SuperSport as part of a swap deal that will see striker Tashreeq Morris moving in the opposite direction.
Morris is set to undergo a medical at Naturena this week before completing his move to the Chiefs.
The Soweto giants are preparing to offload Saile to open space for a potential foreign signing before the end of this month.
They have been linked with a few foreign players, including Swiss striker Ruben Del Campo.
SuperSport are also currently without the services of striker Bradley Grobler due to injury and have turned to Saile to bolster their striking force, which has been firing blanks since the beginning of the year.
“He is coming,” said Hunt after being asked by this publication after the Betway Premiership match against Polokwane City in Tshwane on Friday.
Matsatsantsa are still yet to score a goal in the New Year after losing against Sekhukhune United and Polokwane City by 3-0 and 1-0 scorelines respectively in the league.
Hunt has conceded the desire to sign a striker to bolster their squad up front.
“The area of concern is to put the ball at the back of the net. We do create chances, but in this game, you have to be scoring and we haven’t scored.”
“You can say whatever you like, you have to score the goals. But I know it will happen,” added the veteran coach.
